Philco Canada 39 or 41-722 Tropic
#4

If anyone is interested, here's my progress so far:

I think I've replaced all of the old carbon resistors now. Both IF transformers have been removed for the necessary rewiring. I've also removed the original electrolytic cans in order to cut each open, restuff with new electrolytics, and reseal.

I noticed a problem with the volume control.

Notice anything missing? Let's take another look:

That's right - this control had no loudness tap!

A trip to the junk parts stash revealed a Philco 2 meg control with 1 meg tap, exactly what was needed:

Of course, the shaft on this control is too short, so a coupling and a shaft extension will be added in the near future.

I also find that I do not have enough old paper caps to restuff every capacitor, so I will look at the few junk chassis I have left to see if I can come up with enough.
